Getting a bumper home...

Post by Mr Josh Zombie » Wed Sep 27, 2006 10:44 am

As some know, I'll be picking up my SRT-4 Bumper this weekend... and I was wondering... do you think I could fit the damned thing i my neon? Right now, that's my only means of transportation, and I don't want to rent a u-haul. (I got my hood home by strapping it to the roof of my g/f's neon.)

If it's not possible, anyone in the Toldeo area that's willing to lend me there van, truck, SUV if I fill their tank for them? I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask

Try putting it in hte trunk. Fold down the rear seats, and lay back the front passenger seat, slide it in through the trunk, past the back seats and into the front passenger seat.

It will fit just fine in your car, Josh. At one point I had my whole Xenon kit in my car, that was sure a site to see. Just fold down the seats and you will be fine.

Awesome.. I'll just have to remember to take out my sub box come sunday!

Thanks everyone.

(Oh yea, and Chris... turns out I probably wont be going turbo becuase I have to move into a 2 bedroom apartment soon... and I'll only be $200+ a month... sorry. Unless there's some other way we can make it all work, I'm going to have to pass.)

Yah, it'll fit, I've hauled a few long distances and it's sorta tight sliding it through the back seats but thats about the only way I found to make it fit the easiest.

it will fit in your back seat. my SRT bumper fit in my backseat. dont bother taking your subs out. itll flex and fit right into the back seat, in between the doors. lay it right across the seat and then slowly close the door, yes, you will want to cry thinking you are hurting the poor new bumper, but you are not, just be careful. :lol:

Itll fit in the car, as others have said.

Ive also taken bumpers/hoods/trunks off of cars and driven to the place to get a the new one and installed it right there and drove home. Looks kind of funny, but gets the job done.

hell, i drove for 3 hours with the blitz bumper inside the car.... and that was fiberglass, it dosent bend. i also carried my srt rear inside the car. i put the passanger seat down (reclined all the way down) and lay the bumper at an angle towards the left rear. or if you wanna make it easier, just take the passanger seat out.
